A silhouette is the image of a person, animal, object or scene represented as a solid shape of a single color, usually black, its edges matching the outline of the subject. The interior of a silhouette is featureless, and the whole is typically presented on a light background, usually white, or none at all. The silhouette differs from an outline, which depicts the edge of an object in a linear form, while a silhouette appears as a solid shape. Silhouette images may be created in any visual artistic media, but was first used to describe pieces of cut paper, which were then stuck to a backing in a contrasting colour, and often framed.
Cutting portraits, generally in profile, from black card became popular in the mid-18th century, though the term silhouette was seldom used until the early decades of the 19th century, and the tradition has continued under this name into the 21st century. They represented a cheap but effective alternative to the portrait miniature, and skilled specialist artists could cut a high-quality bust portrait, by far the most common style, in a matter of minutes, working purely by eye. Other artists, especially from about 1790, drew an outline on paper, then painted it in, which could be equally quick. The leading 18th-century English "profilist" in painting, John Miers, advertised "three minute sittings", and the cost might be as low as half a crown around 1800. Miers' superior products could be in grisaille, with delicate highlights added in gold or yellow, and some examples might be painted on various backings, including gesso, glass or ivory. The size was normally small, with many designed to fit into a locket, but otherwise a bust some 3 to 5 inches high was typical, with half- or full-length portraits proportionately larger.
After Owl City's previous album, All Things Bright and Beautiful (2011) sold only 143,000 copies in the United States, Adam Young began working on demo tracks for The Midsummer Station in January 2012. Unlike his previous albums, Young worked with different songwriters and producers for the first time, including Stargate and Emily Wright. However, Young again collaborated with Matthew Thiessen for his third album in a row along with Ocean Eyes and All Things Bright and Beautiful. Young was initially scared of the thought of collaborating with others, "I've never worked with anybody before. I've done everything myself except for mastering. It's a big job for one guy, especially a perfectionist, so I knew I wanted to try to experiment with other people." The song "Dementia", which features Blink-182 singer Mark Hoppus, was mixed by Chris Lord-Alge.
In 1966 during the Vietnam War, an American recon patrol in Cambodia stumbled upon an ancient hidden temple of a cult known as the Dragon's Breath, which had remained hidden for centuries. It had been built upon a well-spring of raw, primal energy called the "Well of All Things." The inhabitants decided to breed a superior race that would one day unite with the ways of the west. They believed that this union would produce children capable of harnessing the power of the Well. The members of the recon patrol were to be the fathers of these children; one of these men was Andrew Chord, the man who would become Silhouette's father.
Midnight's Fire/Paralyzed
Silhouette and her brother Aaron (Midnight's Fire) are the only children of Andrew Chord, the former guardian of Dwayne Taylor (Night Thrasher) and his wife Miyami (Tai's only daughter), and were born in New York City. Silhouette and Midnight's Fire were operating as independent vigilantes in the streets of New York, when they met Dwayne (before he had become Night Thrasher), and the three began an organized effort to take down various New York City criminal street gangs. She began a romance with Night Thrasher during this time.

Verse 1 (DAX):
...I know, I know, I know
The way you way you way you make me
...I know, I know, I know
The way you way you way you make me
Sometimes things go crazy
All glass, just had to break me
...I know, I know, I know
I've seen how'd you betray me
...It's true - know that you'll talk me up
Safely the usual way that you do... baby, it's too dark but
I clearly see that you'll bid me adieu...
...silhouette, shadow of days that I rue
Mystery inside the glass, masking what it has
Our love is in the past, my dream that'd never last
I yell at deities and ask them if they're real
They tell me God is love...

Mystery inside the glass, masking what it has
Our love is in the past, my dream that'd never last
I yell at deities and ask them if they're real
They tell me God is love, I guess that's why feel, none at all
Chorus:
...still a mess, you're no good for me
...your silhouette, body's all I see
...I've been attentive, visually you seem a ten, yet
Ugly with the little things, 'cause you got me Aurene
//// Gotta leave your silhouette ////
Verse 2 (Real):
I can see your silhouette
So prominently so I can't forget
All of the times you up and disappeared
Then came back and had me thinking the heavy clouds had cleared
But I can see them in the distance, girl
A summer rain is what I truly feared
Here come the drizzle, scenes in every drop
The picture I took time to draw for you right now is smeared
My momma told me I should go inside
Days ago but giving up ain't really how I ride
Never was so I'mma sit right through this storm
That the weather channel told me beforehand would form
Is that the wind or is that your breath
Is that the thunder or your foot step
Is that the lightning or just my death, I don't
Know no more but you are my meth, you are my meth
Bridge (Jurel):
You a shadow of your former self, you the reason I don't
Trust women craving wealth, you were so temporary....rary.... rarely
But the damage was done and is permanent, feelings aside, I do hope you will burn in it
You never realized I was always hurt you, bitch, feelings have died with you doing your dirt and shit
But you claim you should blame me
You such a lame, crazy.... Baby....
Did everything right while you did it all wrong, haunted by your silhouette by my wall
You the reason I hate myself and I just wanna end it all
But a lesson lived, a lesson learned, the rest of this life is concerned
Will I be forever cursed to be repeatedly undermined of my worth, eh?
Chorus
